I learned even more about Russell's leadership in that segment than I knew... and that block..wow. We have one hell of a Rookie QB. Nice job with that draft John and Pete, the country is just starting to realize how smart you were.

I think I remember his Wisconsin coach saying in a radio interview before the season started that Russell would probably become our starting quarterback if there was any opportunity to show what he could do and then after leading our team to the playoffs and a few super bowls, we would probably elect him as our state senator. Well, he is on his way.

For anyone who is interested in RGIII's counterpart video, here it is.

49ers webzone: Win or lose, i hope you injure Sherman. Like a serious career ending injury. I don't want him to get paid.49ers webzone: noise should not be the overwhelming reason a team is favored. they need to spray noise-damping foam onto the ceiling of that place.

Listening to that one, you can hear the difference between RGIII and Wilson's understanding of the game. Wilson was pointing out things he saw on the field to Bevell and to his players; with RGIII it was the offensive coordinator doing it.

That means that if he makes any signal, he wants to audible to 3 slant routes from the WR's and for Marshawn to block his right sideThunder and 200 scat, well you would have to know the playbook to know that.

I truly believe that the majority of Seahawk's fans have no idea how lucky we are to have Russell Wilson. Look at some of the absolute bums -- Mark Sanchez and Gabbert -- that play with no heart for the game and lack a pair of nuts. We are so lucky to have him, and I honestly can't wait to watch him for years to come.

Former O line guy / radio football analyst here: I'll give it a whirl. I have no inside information and could be dead wrong. I'm also not looking at those specific plays on video for extra help so here we go.

Any Signal -> if they come across snap the ball; could also mean no automatic audible based on defensive alignmentGun double right close -> shotgun depth, two receivers(could be tight ends) to right, close alignmentHalfback right -> line up to right of QB200 scat -> route package, though scat in my old terminology was a running back curl out about 2-4 yards past LOSTriple Slant -> face value says all 3 receivers (two right, single left) run slantsThunder -> o line call, we used to have fire,cat, and a few otherson one -> Set...HUT *snap*---Shift to gun right right open -> Assume this play call is based on keeping previous personnel/alignment, right open could mean tight end on line of scrimmageFullback right -> could be lined up next to him in the gun or at line of scrimmage next to TE, this shift ^^ could move him18 stag -> I don't remember if Bevell's system uses the the 1-9 route numbering system but this is a route call. I would think a stag might be a kind of option route with a comeback option.Now remember one technique three technique -> line call---I left west - formation. Normally in I left or I right that's the alignment of a TE, here I think it may be the fullback's location.19 double four - route package, see note beforesecond cover - line call possibly, for read option

---------Has anyone else here ever created a playbook? It's hard as hell to get all the layers into something coherent sounding...

Absolutely love it. Everyone's kind of said this in different ways, but RW looks like he's been here for years, no big deal. RG3 kind of looks like he's beyond happy to be here. RG3's joking around in the huddle ("oh, you want the play?"). Obviously to say nothing of his skill, but there's just a major difference in attitudes.

OUTSTANDING! First chance I've had to hear RW during a game. Like night and day between this and his pressers. The RGIII video was good too. Two great QBs going at it this Sunday. It's a great time to be fan.

And then the NFLN mics the guy and gives away not only goal line play call, but an option play call.

Not to worry, there will be terminology changes throughout the week that will remedy much of that we heard irrelevant.

I remember when the west coast offense came about back in the 49er/Walsh regime. Since then, guys like Holmgren, Reid, and Chucky took it to a whole new level in terms of how the QB calls the plays. Then when you throw in Sam Wyche's "Bengal Terminology, you got body parts and rock stars describing routes. I love the calls in the huddle, freakin awesome.

Remember "28, baker, bruce"? That's a pass to the #8 wide receiver, running a "baker" pattern (whatever that was), with the back blocking the strong safety (or a BOSS block) ...cuz, Bruce is "the Boss".

The Hidden NFL, love that video...
